SIFA, Pauline says
Madame, Monsieur,
Je vous écris pour exprimer mon intérêt à obtenir une bourse pour soutenir mes études au Canada. J’ai été admise à l’Université Sainte-Anne pour un baccalauréat en service social et, en tant qu’étudiante internationale de la République Démocratique du Congo, je cherche une aide financière pour couvrir mes frais de scolarité et mes frais de subsistance pendant mes études.
Mes résultats académiques, mes expériences de leadership et mon engagement dans le travail social m’ont bien préparée pour ce programme. J’ai maintenu d’excellents dossiers académiques et j’ai été activement impliquée dans des projets de service communautaire visant à améliorer le bien-être social dans ma communauté.
L’opportunité d’étudier à l’Université Sainte-Anne est une étape importante vers la réalisation de mes objectifs professionnels, et je suis convaincue que cette éducation me permettra de contribuer de manière significative au secteur du travail social tant au niveau local que global. Cependant, le fardeau financier associé aux études à l’étranger est considérable, et je ne peux pas me le permettre sans soutien externe.
Je vous prie de bien vouloir considérer ma demande pour toute bourse ou programme d’aide financière disponible pour les étudiants internationaux. Vous trouverez ci-joints mes relevés de notes, la preuve d’admission et des lettres de recommandation attestant de mes qualifications et de mon caractère.
Je vous remercie de considérer ma demande. J’espère vivement pouvoir contribuer à et apprendre de la communauté académique de l’Université Sainte-Anne.
D’avance, je vous remercie de l’attention que vous accorderez à cette requête et vous prie de recevoir, Madame, Monsieur, l’expression de mes sentiments les meilleurs.
Cordialement,
P. SIFA
